Thanks to all.

What kind of recommendations you need, about paint care, waxing etc..?
Yes, I did mostly all myself, only one friend was helping me with fitting bodyparts. Matte surface is much more difficult to keep clean and nice than shiny paint. Mothers company haves good cleaning products for matte surface, including matte wax.

I think i will post later few enginebay pictures, when enginebay is ready. When new ECU system is installed i will post Dyno papers also.. Power should be over 500+Hp

Here is few shots more.. (car not ready yet)



Here is picture from installing M5 -LSD to BMW 740i



Custom Eisenmann race mufflers 4x90mm (sorry for bad image quality, took it with mobilephone)
